<p>A battery charging system (200) includes a field-effect transistor (212) as a current discharge protection device in order to prevent current from flowing from battery (222) to charger (202) when charger (202) is not charging or discharging battery (222). The field-effect transistor (212) also protects battery (222) in the case that the battery contacts are inadvertently shorted. When charger (202) is charging battery (222), field-effect transistor (212) is turned on, providing for reduced voltage drop across the device due to its low on resistance, and also allows for charger (202) to charge and discharge (condition) battery (222).</p> |
